Abstract
An orientation measuring device with a plurality of precision tooled grooves, indentations or the like. Two precision tooled adaptor bodies, preferably of cylindrical shape, are removably mountable in the indentations, where appropriate, for a given measuring task. The adaptor bodies are held in place by, e.g., magnets. The device is capable of determining the spatial orientation of rolls, bars, hollow or solid cylinders, ranging from small to large diameters by appropriately selecting in which of the grooves or indentations the adaptor bodies are mounted.
